PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

GOOD LUCK TO OUR SWIMMING TEAM TODAY

We wish good luck to Nethaya, Prince, Roha, Bailee, Alex, Sejal, Lilly, Emily, Melad and Lena who are competing in the Hampton Park

District Swimming Sports today.

ASSEMBLY- MONDAY MORNING - 8.45AM MUSIC WILL BEGIN TO SIGNAL FOR STUDENTS TO MEET THEIR HOME GROUP TEACHER

Each Monday we have assembly to celebrate student success, come together as a school to build school pride and connectedness and to deliver important messages from our students and staff. As we have nearly 900 students to get seated we are starting our music at 8.45am to help get students and families enter the stadium ready for a 9am

start.

THE VALUE WE ARE FOCUSING ON THIS TERM FROM OUR 4 SCHOOL VALUES IS RELATIONSHIPS

Each week students will be looking at a related quality or value that

supports relationship building.

The Supporting Value of the Week is Consideration

This week students are concentrating on the value of consideration. Consideration is the act of thinking carefully, often being thoughtful of other people. Praise your child when you see them being considerate

of others.

BRAINSTORM PRODUCTIONS – THE HUMAN RACE - INCURSION REMINDER!

Please make sure you access COMPASS to give permission for your child to attend Brainstorm Productions on Tuesday 5th March. They are presenting their student wellbeing program ‘The Human Race’ for

all students.

'The Human Race' is an anti-bullying and resilience program for Primary Schools that reinforces positive relationships, and provides resources to help reduce the incidence of bullying at school and online. It encourages tolerance, kindness, respect and empathy. Respect, equality, safety, patience, empathy, care and trust, these are the values that will be explored in this dramatic performance. ‘The Human Race’ reinforces what your child has been learning in their Learning Community as part of Team Tulliallan program and zero tolerance to bullying approach. If your child does not participate in this incursion they will be placed in another home group to complete

alternate work, therefore it would be beneficial to attend this incursion as a celebration of ‘Team Tulliallan’. The permission notice is on

COMPASS and this is an important session for every child to attend.

KEY STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS

Tulliallan PS has a strong Social Skills program. This program promotes good social behaviour, acceptance and strategies to manage our emotions. At our school we encourage students to find a way to restore friendships when friends have had a falling out. The following 3 strategies are used at our school to help resolve conflict.

Discuss these with your child at home.

3 Student Strategies for Successful Solutions:

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

BOOK CLUB

Thank you to the families that ordered books from the first edition of Book Club. With every order made Tulliallan PS earns reward points that we can redeem for books for our students to use. From the first order we were able to purchase over $200 worth of books that our students will benefit

from.

ATTENDANCE

It is extremely important for every child to arrive at school on time ready to learn. Unfortunately, we have a large number of students who arrive after 9.00am. Those students are missing valuable learning time that is impacting their development. It is also impacting their social interactions, as at the start of the day teachers encourage peer connectedness. Please

ensure your child/ren arrive at school before 9.00am.

HATS

This week the number of students in Hat Duty is still far too high. We are now in Week 4 of Term 1 and it is expected that all children have a

Tulliallan hat to wear at recess and lunchtime. As the Education Department Sun Smart policy states; all children must wear a hat in Term 1

and 4. Parents will be notified of children that do not have a hat.

EVACUATION DRILL

This Friday we will be conducting an evacuation drill so all students and teachers can practice leaving the buildings and making their way to the designated evacuation spot on the oval. Please do not be alarmed if you

are driving past the school and see the whole school on the oval.

Have a great week
